Wow, this place packs a huge flavor punch. I don’t eat a lot of Mexican food, but primarily that’s due to an aversion to rice and beans. The cuisine style of the Sinaloa region of Mexico, however, is primarily known for seafood, and particularly shrimp.
I visited on a Sunday early evening. There was a very loud live musical band that had just finished playing. It was very easy to get seating, and the service was fast.
The beer cocktail with shrimp was actually extremely delicious. The shrimp were well grilled, with a tangy lime and chili mix. The star of the show was the ceviche dish, which was enormous (we had 2 people, and it was way more than we could finish). There was shrimp, octopus, fresh fish, and I think also some clams, all cured in the lime juice. The sushi roll was kind of bland, unfortunately, but it was deep fried and, compared to the acidity of the other two dishes, more comfortably familiar.
I am looking forward to coming back and trying out a few more of the menu items.
